Overview

For more than a century, energy and its procurement have been central to the U.S. position as a world power. How can U.S. relations with established producer nations ensure the stability of energy supplies? How can non-OPEC resources best be brought to the international marketplace? And what are the risks to international security of growing global reliance on imported oil?

Editorial Reviews

Political Studies Review

Foreign Affairs

Surveys the prospective world of oil and gas... [and] argues that the United States needs a coherent energy policy that is an integral part of U.S. foreign policy.

— Richard N. Cooper

Middle East Quarterly
